[0052] When in use, the driving ratchet 1004 is plugged into the driving bevel tooth groove 909 , and when the driving ratchet 1004 rotates, the driving bevel tooth groove 909 drives the driving column 908 to move.

8. The rapid replacement device for numerical control tools according to claim 7, characterized in that: The upper surface and lower surface of the other end of the driving tongue (1006) are respectively provided with a limiting arc groove (1007) and an auxiliary groove (1008); the inner wall of the auxiliary groove (1008) is fixedly connected with a support spring (1009); one end of the support spring (1009) is plugged into the inner bottom wall of the force application handle (1005); The upper surface of the force applying handle (1005) is threadedly connected with a handle limiting bolt (1010), and one end of the handle limiting bolt (1010) penetrates and extends to the inner wall of the force applying handle (1005) and is plugged into the inner wall of the limiting arc groove (1007).

9. The rapid replacement device for numerically controlled tools according to claim 8, characterized in that: The inner wall of the driving frame (10) is rotatably connected to a locking shaft (1011), the surface of the locking shaft (1011) is sleeved with a torsion spring (1012), the surface of the locking shaft (1011) is fixedly connected to a locking pawl (1013), the two ends of the torsion spring (1012) are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the driving frame (10) and the surface of the locking pawl (1013), and one end of the locking pawl (1013) is plugged into the surface of the locking ratchet (1003).

10. A method for replacing a CNC tool quick-change device, comprising the CNC tool quick-change device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: When replacing the chip cutting tool on the electric tool holder (802), the locking pawl (1013) is moved to separate the locking pawl (1013) from the locking ratchet (1003), the locking of the locking ratchet (1003) is released, and then the driving column (908) is lifted; Step 2: The force applying block (905) is driven to move upward by lifting the driving column (908), and the force applying block (905) drives the two tool pressing blocks (9) to separate from the tool through the magnet (906), and the tool is taken out; Step 3: After taking out the tool from the tool slot and placing a new tool into the tool slot, release the pull on the drive column (908), and under the gravity of the tool clamping block (9) and the force block (905), the tool clamping block (9) and the force block (905) move downward, and the lower surface of the tool clamping block (9) is plugged into the surface of the tool, and then the driving tongue (1006) on the force handle (1005) is plugged into the surface of the locking ratchet (1003), and the force handle (1005) is turned, and the force handle (1005) drives the locking ratchet (1003) to rotate, thereby locking the tool. The ratchet (1003) drives the driving shaft (1002) and the driving ratchet (1004) to rotate. The driving ratchet (1004) drives the driving column (908) to move downward by driving the helical tooth groove (909), thereby driving the force applying block (905) to move downward, so that the two tool pressing blocks (9) are inserted and pressed against the surface of the tool to lock the tool. When the locking ratchet (1003) rotates, the locking pawl (1013) is always in contact with the surface of the locking ratchet (1003) through the action force of the torsion spring (1012), thereby locking the locking ratchet (1003).
